Overview

The Recon Satellite is User Interface Control feature found on the World Map.  It's intent is to aid the Player in locating possible attackable targets by cycling through one of five categories :

• Recent Enemies
• Player Bases
• Shadow Ops Bases
• Metal Deposits
• Oil Deposits
• Advanced Material Deposits
• Rogue Faction Bases

The Recon Satellite cycles through possible targets one at a time starting with the one that is found closest to the Players own Base and continuing outwards with the maximum number of targets being 50 per Category. 

The Recon Satellite Menu is found on the World Map, located directly above the Chat Window.

Head to the World Map to take advantage of your new target finding powers. No one is safe from your wrath with the Recon Satellite at your disposal!

1. Slide Open the Recon Satellite Menu by clicking on the "RECON SATELLITE" Bar ( ^ ) arrow located above the Chat Bax.

3. Each click of the Category moves your view to the next furthest away target.
4. Once a suitable target is found, call in your platoons and wreak havoc.
5. Slide Closed the Recon Satellite Menu by clicking on the "RECON SATELLITE" Bar ( v ) arrow.
